Why these dates
Dates for entering a new home. The fixed and soft nakshatras are preferred, the growing (shukla) fortnight is preferred, and the same three months are avoided. Diaspora note: closing dates rarely bend, so the list is deliberately wider than the wedding's.
Each date above passed every rule for a housewarming in our published rule set — the nakshatram and tithi prevailing at sunrise in New Jersey, the weekday, the Tamil month, and where it applies the planetary combustion (moudhyam) periods and eclipse days. The rahu kalam column is a caution rather than a filter: the date can be good and the hour still needs choosing.
